If you used "ImapSync" for the migration, I assume you used an imap
server on both machines. Or is it the same machine?

The problem them is not in Alpine realm, but in the mail daemon realm.
Alpine doesn't care how the daemon keeps the mail inside, it doesn't see
the files.

But you have to configure dovecot to read the new storage. I assume you
already did that, if you moved mail from dovecot server to dovecot server.

folder-collections=
"Mail (local imap)" {localhost/novalidate-cert/user=cer}[]

Possibly (unsure):
